I built a deck under this pergola!

I just did a smaller pergola by my selves ….very similar to this and I’m 75….very good video editing.
Another great job ticked off the list. Great to see dad lending a hand again. 👍👍👍
Thank you! Yes sir he’s always willing to help. Thanks for the channel support much appreciated
Looks like you did not do bird mouth cut on rafters where they attach to the beam on front? Not needed because of short slope Or you tried to explain it using how to put the front outer beam and then do the front inner beam? We are planning to build one pergola, really need that slope in case we do any roof in future.
Looks great! It’s all personal preference….. but definitely would be great with the tin roof and painted to match your house once the wood dries out. Great job as always👍
Thank you! I know it’s gonna be such a tuff decision to make.
I know its a little more time consuming but I would have used Simpson screws you may someday want to disassemble and nails are a bugger !! Looks great !!
Very nice!
Thanks man!
How were the rafters attached away from the house? Just nails or something else? Looks like they are just sitting there
How’s the 18ft side holding up? Any sag ? Or do you leave a post under it?
It’s been great I actually found an old antique iron corbel that install halfway to hold the weight
I’ve been really wanting to do the same in the back of my house. Do you have any plans to do anything with the grass under it? Maybe use brick and pavers to make a patio? That’s what I’ve had in mind.
It turned out great! 🤙🏼
Thanks man. The next stage is building a deck under the whole pergola. It’ll be about an 8” step up due to the elevation drop but it’ll add a lot of dimension to the back of the house. Sometimes with slab homes the look so flat to me.
@@ProjectDadLife can’t wait to see it! And I know exactly what you mean about slab homes. My first house was a slab. Seemed like no matter what I did on the outside it just seemed one dimensional, if you know what I mean. Wish I would have thought of doing this.
Great job. Hard to find good help.
Thank you! Yes it is these days!
Interesting no hangers. How is the ledger tided into the house?
Keep up the hard work.
I used ledger anchor bolts. It’s attached to the triple 2x10 running along the back of my porch
I see the ledger board attached to the house did u remove the vinyl sidin?
I’m having one built now. Any advice on how to keep carpenter bees away? Thanks
I would keep the drop on the short ones, just my personal preference…
thanks for the input and support
Any interested in 4K POE security camera system sponsorship? The details i had messaged to your ins message request, hope can hear from you.
Where were your little helpers? School?
yeah summers over so unfortunately they big boys don't get to help as much
